A red light violation is one of the most serious traffic offenses in Germany. The penalties are high – yet many notices contain technical or formal errors.
Sanctions for red light violations: Simple red light violation (under 1 second): €90 fine, 1 point Qualified red light violation (over 1 second): €200 fine, 2 points, 1 month driving ban With endangerment: Up to €360, 2 points, 1 month driving ban With accident: Up to €360, 2 points, 1 month driving ban
When is an appeal against a red light violation worthwhile? Speed camera photos are blurry or do not clearly show the red light violation Faulty second calculation (simple vs. qualified) Traffic light system was defective or yellow phase too short Induction loops or measurement technology were faulty
Common Errors in Red Light Violation Notices:
1. Faulty Time Calculation The distinction between simple ( 1 second) red light violations is crucial. Measurement errors can double the penalty here.
2. Defective Traffic Light System Yellow phases that are too short or faulty traffic light systems can excuse the violation. These errors are more common than thought.
3. Unclear Photo Evidence For red light violations, two photos must be present: one when crossing the stop line, one in the intersection. If a photo is missing or unclear, the notice can be challenged.
4. Missing Calibration of Measurement Technology Induction loops and red light cameras must be regularly calibrated. If calibration has expired, the measurement is challengeable.
5. Emergency Situations Not Considered If you had to swerve (e.g., for emergency vehicles), this can justify the violation.
